Choose renew, renegotiate, replace or terminate
Require a retained decision that matches the evidence-backed recommendation and makes resources and consequences visible.
State the recommendation
- Choose continue, correct, renegotiate, renew, replace or terminate.
- Explain what changed since selection and contract approval.
Retain authority
- Name the decision owner, date, authorized cash and hours.
- A recommendation or auto-renew clause is not owner authorization.
Prepare the next path
- Carry corrective work into operations or replacement into sourcing.
- Keep notice and transition deadlines visible.
Retain the performance record
The Vendor Performance Studio keeps contract obligations, measured service periods, incidents, observed costs and owner decisions connected. It does not renew, replace, terminate, purchase or message.
